"What is and what is not samadhi practice" Dhammatalk by Ajahn Martin (20/01/19) 

Very great talk. Clear and precise. Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu, Thank you very much Luang Pu Martin for teaching us with so much metta.

Great 👍

This is by far the best guide I've heard on how to obtain sati and samadhi. So short end sweet: The horse riding-metaphor, the middle way-description: not to control too hard, or to little, but just right, in the middle..- Amazingly clear! Ajahn Martin's great metta shines through for us. Thank you! Now we only have to look deep to find our individual meditation object(s): breath and/or mantra: buddho, meta, or what else just for you?

🙏🙏🙏

Ajahn what is your opinion of mindfulness as the term used in the western? I meant can we have mindfulness outside of Buddhism? It is like a fad. A research shows mindfulness can be harmful. I believe this because it is not beneficial if you do not have Buddhism as the foundation. Ajahn jayasaro also said he wanted to avoid that term. He said people automatically default to mindfulness as understood in the western world. He preferred sati. I also noticed you often use Sati in the recently videos as well.
